Mice are given enormous amounts of energy after taking experimental "exercise pill". these lab rats have gone almost there entire lives with 0 activity suddenly sprang to life. this drug activates the gene trigger when you exercise. Once this drug is perfected it will be able to allow people to exercise for long periods of time without tiring. there is still a lot of work done to finish this drug and make it fit for humans, but scientists are optimistic.
this holds significance because this new medical advancement could be used for so many practical purposes. It could benefit for people fighting in war zones so they can run longer. It can be used for people going on space missions to chase away the fatigue that comes with the physically challenging task that is space travel. The possibilities are endless, and this will be a step forwards for mankind.

I wonder if there would be detrimental side effects related to exerting yourself physically for so long. It seems that this would break down the human body. More research definitely needs to be done.
